THE Department of Agriculture (DA) will hire technical experts as interns as part of an agreement with the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) in order to address the need for more agriculture professionals, the Labor department said.
In a statement Sunday, the DoLE said the memorandum of agreement will result in the hiring of “hundreds of technical and agricultural biosystems engineers and graduates” by the DA in order to “fill the gap in the demand for the professions in agriculture.”
DoLE said these professionals will be employed under the Government Internship Program, running three to six month, with interns to be paid the prevailing minimum wage in their regions.
